Number one New York Times best seller

For fans of the Hunger Games, Divergent, and Red Rising comes a gripping sci-fi adventure in which a group of teenagers wake up in a mysterious corridor with no knowledge of who they are or how they got trapped. Their only hope lies with an indomitable young woman who must lead them not only to answers, but to survival.

“I open my eyes to darkness. Total darkness. I hear my own breathing, but nothing else. I lift my head...it thumps against something solid and unmoving. There is a board right in front of my face. No, not a board...a lid.”

A teenage girl awakens to find herself trapped in a coffin. She has no idea who she is, where she is, or how she got there. Fighting her way free brings little relief - she discovers only a room lined with caskets and a handful of equally mystified survivors. Beyond their room lies a corridor filled with bones and dust, but no people...and no answers.

She knows only one thing about herself - her name, M. Savage, which was engraved on the foot of her coffin - yet she finds herself in charge. She is not the biggest among them, or the boldest, but for some reason the others trust her. Now, if they’re to have any chance, she must get them to trust one another.

Whatever the truth is, she is determined to find it and confront it. If she has to lead, she will make sure they survive. Maybe there’s a way out, a rational explanation, and a fighting chance against the dangers to come. Or maybe a reality they cannot comprehend lies just beyond the next turn.

Thinly veiled pedophilic, sci-fi, nonsense.

This could have been average at best if it weren’t for kids waking up in 18 plus year old bodies.

The Worst Audible Ever!

Stopped listening 3/4 through. Like the author but this Audible book is terrible! The awful sound effects were so distracting I literally couldn't stand it. Slurping, grunting pigs and 12 yo screamers in adult bodies...AWFUL! Lost money...don't care...

12 year olds being sexualized is gross. Knock-Off Lord Of The Flies.

12 year old characters that wake up in the bodies of sexy 20 year Olds. Lots of descriptions on the women being scantily clad and 'exposed' and descriptions of muscled attractive men and urges by the girls on how tingly the men make them.
Keep in mind they are supposedly 12 years old.

Gross.
Felt a bit pedo honestly.
The sexualization of 12 year olds was not cool too which can be seen often throughout the book.

I should have stopped there because that Immediatly put me on a ick mood. It's not helped that these characters act how you'd expect 12 year Olds to act. It really plays into the immaturity except with a bunch of sexy and strong older 20 year old bodies. It's problematic and i have no idea how there are so many 5 star reviews on this online.

This ends up feeling like a Lord Of The Flies Reimagining with its plot. It's not even a very good plot as it's entirely too simplistic and the immaturity just clashes so poorly with these adult bodied characters. There's so much here that just makes it feel like a cheap knock off of Lord Of The Flies. It felt like bad fan fiction written by a Sophomore in Highschool.

Anyone who thinks is shocking/horror also just hasn't read a good enough book that represents the genre a million times better. This was so held back and boring. It was incredibly routine and mind numbing.

Nothing makes sense and feels more attributed to bad writing then anything. Some things these kids get into are just even hard to believe 12 year Olds would fall far.

This has to be one of the top 5 worst books I've had unfortunately experienced.
